Horsleyhas pointed out that in many casesparalysis passes away only to recursubsequently, the recurrence beingdue to edema of the cord. In somecases of spinal injury there is temporaryparalysis due to shock. Persistentparalysis may. be due to lacerationof the cord, division of the cord, orcompression of the cord by bone,blood-clot (Fig. 609), or products ofinflammation. The extent of paralysisdepends on the seat of the cord must always try and decide if the ^r^^.
